Mission Statement
Council on Aging’s mission is to enhance lives by assisting people to remain independent through a range of quality services.
About This Cause
Independence. It means something different for everyone. But most of us would like to be as independent as possible, for as long as possible – even if we are aging, have a chronic health condition or disability, or are getting by on limited resources. • Independence may mean you would like to stay in your home (or a caregiver’s home) for as long as possible, even if you need help cooking, getting to a doctor’s appointment, taking your medication or bathing. • It may mean moving to an assisted living community, where you can have meals, socialize and get extra support if needed, but still have your privacy. • Independence may be freedom from the physical, emotional or financial strain of a chronic health condition such as diabetes, heart disease or arthritis. It may be having the confidence to do the things you enjoy, without the fear of falling. Programs and services administered by Council on Aging (COA) can help with whatever independence means to you. COA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing quality of life for older adults, people with disabilities, their families and caregivers. We promote choice, independence, dignity and well-being through a range of publicly-funded programs and services to help people remain in their homes for as long as possible. Additionally, we offer free support, advice and consultation for family and volunteer caregivers, and operate a call center through which anyone can access unbiased information, advice and referral on any topic related to aging, disability services or caregiving. Founded in 1971, COA is part of the national aging services network and is a state-designated Area Agency on Aging, serving individuals across a multi-county region, including Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren counties. One call to COA links people to the wide variety of agencies, information and programs that serve older adults, people with disabilities and their caregivers in our region.
